From the moment the pups roll onto the dirt track in Rescue Wheels, the intent is clear: this is a bright, accessible arcade-racer built for younger gamers and families rather than hardcore competitors. The narrative here is minimal – a rally across familiar locales with the regular team of pups, plus newcomers like Roxi, Boomer and nemesis Mayor Humdinger gearing up to race alongside them – but that light storyline suits the tone and target audience just fine. The stronger focus is on the racing itself: drifting, monster-truck transformations, turbo boosts and signature pup abilities. It’s out for PCs and all major consoles, including the Switch (where it’s compatible with the Switch 2 as well). Continue reading “PAW Patrol Rescue Wheels: Championship review”

From the first steps into the Zone, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl on PS5 feels like a trip into the bleak heart of a post-apocalyptic myth.

The story kicks off when a clash between King Neptune and the Flying Dutchman sends Bikini Bottom into translucent chaos – citizens are turned into ghosts, and it falls on SpongeBob and Patrick to set things right. The narrative doesn’t aim for deep emotional stakes, but its whimsical conflict and familiar characters make for a charming and appropriately absurd romp.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection on PS5 is a compelling homage to the blood-soaked origins of the franchise, but it wears its reverence and its flaws in nearly equal measure. Developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Atari, this compilation isn’t just a way to replay classic MK games – it’s a curated archive complete with a deep interactive documentary, rare versions of titles, and thoughtful emulation tools and tweaks. For anyone who remembers tucking quarters into arcade cabinets, it feels like returning to a long-lost arena and a cultural phenomenon. Yet for competitive or modern fighting-game players, small issues muddy the nostalgia a bit. Continue reading “Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection review (PS5)”
